GPS tracker devices have been used for many years to track and identify the location of vehicles. Today, these trackers have been developed with modern technology that can provide various applications with their special features. Tracker device systems can be used for surveillance through GPS pinpoint positioning and to gather all kinds of information including diagnostics, idle time and speed. This offers road users and fleet managers more safety, security and convenience.
The future of the tracker device market
It is expected that the global GPS tracking device market will reach an estimated $2.4 billion by 2025 and $3.4 billion by the end of 2027. That is a growing rate of 9.0% from 2021 to 2027. The major reason for this is growth in the transport and logistics industry. Other market drivers include lower prices of GPS devices, the adoption of intelligent transport systems and safety and security concerns within transportation services.
Trends in the market
The latest trend in the tracker device market is the growth in the commercial vehicle industry leading to the development of new and innovative GPS systems.
